Depression re:miscarriages

This is more of an emotional question. I have had 2 miscarriages since October '98. I thought that I was dealing well with them. I think I'm getting worse. My one sister-in-law is due in June, a week after I would've been due, and I found out today my other sister in law is pregnant. I spent the majority of the day in tears. I get very upset when I see babies or anything that reminds me of the fact that my husband and I may not be able to have children. Is this normal? I feel so selfish. I am happy for these people, but at the same time I am overcome with jealousy. We plan to try again in July and I am terrified, convinced, that something is going to go wrong again. I can't even imagine what that will do to me. Please give me some advice.
